Assuming Morris is healthy and a lock to be on the team (along with Maroney and Faulk), if Jones were to be on the roster he would have to play on special teams in addition to his RB duties. Not saying that he's not better than Eckel because he is but Eckel is a good guy on all the kick teams.

Only problem is that KJ is the guy you pickup injury insurance *for*, not vice versa. I could see them keeping at extra RB on the roster this year with KJ as a potential heir apparent to Faulk. Will be real interesting if he signs ...

Considering they didn't pick up a blocking TE this offseason why not throw more talent into the pool at RB? They could sign him to a minimal contract, put him on PUP to begin the season and he would be able to replace any of the 3 RBs (Maroney, Morris, or Faulk) if the injury bug hits.

Talk about a low risk, high reward situation. Jones has been pretty damn good and productive at times. Unfortunately hes been plagued with injuries. If Morris hadn't played so well last year before getting injured I'd say sign him up no questions asked.

Seriously, if Maroney were to go down I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Jones came and (assuming hes healthy) and was extremely productive for us. Of course he'd have to get ahead of Morris on the depth chart.

Considering that he also has the versatility to be a 3rd down back backup for us I'm real excited about the possibility. I think another team will come in and take him though, he has starter potential IMO.

I love Sammy, don't get me wrong. But there are a lot of RB's in the league who could have picked up 4.5pc with that passing attack.

A fully healthy Kevin Jones brings much more to the table from a pure talent stand point.

Agreed and some of it was in spot duty but I don't think I'm the only one that thinks he played a hell of a lot better than Lo Mo in the beginning. He was certainly more productive than our starter. Talent isn't everything. Nothing against Maroney, he played a lot better down the stretch.
